Sex positions that will flatter your figure and make you feel sexy

All women know that feeling sexy isn't just about stripping off and diving between the covers. Just because you're tangled up with your partner doesn't mean you've forgotten about that bit of cellulite or the onset of bingo wings - the truth is sex doesn't automatically make us feel sexy.

Luckily, these figure flattering tips for bedroom action are designed to help you disguise the bits you're not so keen on and show off the body parts you love.

So don your best lingerie, pump up the volume on your hair, put on some music and try these tricks that will put the sexy back into your sex life...

1. Start stretching

If you want to look more toned and lean all over, standing positions should be your ultimate go-to. Stand facing a wall with your arms raised above you and your palms flat. Stick out your bum so he can spoon you from behind. This position forces you to go up onto your tip toes, tense your bum, suck in your stomach and stretch your arms making every limb look longer and leaner. It may not be the most comfortable for a longer session, but it's great for showing yourself off during a quickie!

Don't forget arching your back, putting your arms behind your head and pointing your toes will help to tense muscles and make you look more toned.

2. Do the wrap around

If you want to make your upper body the focus and hide wobbly thighs try the good old missionary position or the butterfly. Lie on the bed with your bum on the edge so he can enter you from a standing position - he won't see your legs as they'll be wrapped around his waist, but he will get a great view of your breasts and stomach.

3. Side by side

If you've got a small waist show it off with spooning positions. In this position he will be able to run his hands all the way down the side of your body across your boobs and down past your hips. If you have an hourglass figure the dip of your waist will drive him wild, while athletic figures will create the illusion of instant curves! Support your head with one arm and use your free arm to wrap around the back of his neck. This will add tension across your triceps and should reduce the appearance of bingo wings...result!
